India is building its own fighter jets called LCA Tejas Mk1A.
VEM Technologies, a company in Hyderabad, made a big part of the jet called the fuselage and gave it to HAL.
They delivered this part in record time!
This is helping India make more of its own equipment and need less from other countries.
VEM is also making other parts and plans to make even more fuselages.
This helps India build its defense systems and become more self-reliant.
